I used to use the _T, but now I use plural/singular for package/type names.

An alternative for enumerations would be:

   type All_Weapons is (Broadsword, Catapult, Bow_and_Arrow);

   Weapon : All_Weapons := Broadsword;

But this does look a bit weird, maybe a renaming of All_Weapons to A_Weapon would make the variable definition look better?

   Weapon : A_Weapon := Broadsword;
